Webinar Description:

Water cycle diagrams are widely used by educators to convey core scientific principles about water storage and movement on Earth. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recently redesigned its water cycle diagram, putting humans at the forefront. The new diagram emphasizes scientific accuracy, design, and usability in educational settings. Educators were key contributors to the design of the new diagram – USGS heard from hundreds of educators about how they use the water cycle diagram in their instruction and incorporated their feedback into the design. During this webinar, USGS scientists will share information about the basis and importance of the new diagram, as well as the science it depicts.

Explore and download the new diagram and learn more about the water cycle (and other water topics) on theUSGS Water Science School.

Resources

The new USGS water cycle diagram and supporting educational resources are freely available for use on the USGS Water Science School website.
